I've started learning java for android app development. Recently I heared that android annoumced a new version of android which is called "android L" and there are some thing new and some thing removed like hardware buttons.
I was wondering if there is a new language for development or no? I didnt find any resources focused on the development area of android L. And heared Android L has brought material design which some one say its a new language and some one say no its a new design. Now I confused with new version of android the development features availible in it which most differ from previous versions.
Android L still uses Java as the main programming language and it still uses the android SDK. The main change from a programmatic perspective will be new apis that will be added
You are very confused. Android L is a new version of Android, as Android 4.4 or Android 4.3.
The difference with others versions of Android is the visual design.

At present, I use XML layout file in Android Studio.
I have read the article.
1: Is Jetpack Compose further in Android Studio?
2: Will Android Studio give up the XML layout file? If so, when will Android Studio do it?
Android Studio has two main types of distribution: Stable and Preview. You can have both versions in your machine. The Stable version is normally used for production projects once it uses stable APIs and tools. The Preview version, on the other hand, provides early access to new features. Therefore, once Compose is still in Beta (currently is beta 3), makes sense have to use a preview version of Android Studio.
Android UI development uses XML files since version 1.0, so it's expected that Android Studio provides support for XML layouts for a very long time. Besides, it's possible to have projects using both XML and Compose to create the UI.

I want to make an app in which we can change API level of mobile temporarily and test our apps.So,
Is it possible to change API level of mobile and test our app by using android app?
If it is possible then how we can do this in android applications by using Java.
No deployed version of OS of any sort contains its previous releases (don't confuse this with OS backward compatibility). The simplest way to test on various versions of given platform is to use emulator(s).
For Android see either stock one or 3rd party ones like Genymotion or Blue Stacks.
You can do that via emulator.
I don't think that it's possible to do with mobile.

i am recently developing an enterprise mobile app, using Android Studio, and of course java on the code and XML on the layouts code. As all apps, i need it to be running on the iOS OS too, so my question is: Is there any software, or SDK that could transform my Android Studio apk or my code into an IOS app? If there's not, what are my options? the app that im developing its not simple so its getting bigger and bigger, so programing again on an IOS SDK its not really a solution right now. Help please.
There's j2objc, but it's still experimental. If you want to develop cross platfrom native app, you should try tools and frameworks like Titanium or Xamarin

I am new to Android Development. I would request you to gimme some insights on which IDE to use as a newbie and which one is the best pick to stick with as a pro developer? Thank you in advance.
As a beginner point of view you can start with any of these. it will be better if you have some pre knowledge about android development environment tools. if you are completely new to both Eclipse and android studio and then you should first start with Eclipse .
Android SDK Eclipse
It would be little easy for you to handle otherwise you can start with Android studio.
Android Studio
The android studio is still in the early acccess preview, so its not advisable to start developing with it as a complete fresher. Since most of the developers use eclipse, you will be finding more help in the forums.
Android studio still has many disadvantages.
Once you develope in eclipse, and when the real version of android studio is released you can easily migrate your app to studio with ease.
Well Android Studio has been developed after Eclipse and also it is dedicated to develop android applications only.
So you might find it really supportive as far as we are talking about Android Application Development.
Although if you are going to develop some open source applications and
just by plugging in some real development plugins then you must go for
Eclipse.
And to make it comprehensive enough and to open you with the features let me take you to the
GOOGLE IO - 2013

The app name in Arabic is showing broken i.e characters are appearing separately. I am using android 2.2. How can i solved this ?
depends on the installed ROM, google officially started supporting Arabic Ice Cream, but some manufacture supported arabic since 2.1 on their devices like Samsung, and most of Arab Users dont have problems about arabic language on their devices right now.
android officially start Arabic support with their honeycomb series i.e android 3.0 onward
so if u wanna use arabic u must use proper formatted arabic u need to use formatting tools
as far your question is concerned app_name will be fine in android 3 onward but for 2.2 you either give image icon or leave it as it is (i will prefer second)
